Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- To make the Vanilla Sugar stick to the cookie better, I mix it with confectioners' sugar.
- Tip
- Parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.

This is very popular Christmas cookie in Germany. You need to add a pinch of salt, and eggs depending on how many cookies you make.
